This is a good point. Zig is practically optimized for this: comptime is extremely dynamically typed compared to actual generics, and the lack of memory safety is often "a breath of fresh air"--until you have to actually fix bugs (including security bugs) resulting from it.
It's like the "joy" of a good vacation paid for with a credit card.
I appreciate Zig and hope it succeeds. I don't dismiss the benefits of Rust like some comments though; the borrow checker or unsafe syntax may be a pain now, but so is saving money before a vacation.
